A serial killer is on the loose in Richmond, Virginia. Three women have died, brutalised and strangled in their own bedrooms but there is no pattern - the killer appears to strike at random, but always early on Saturday mornings. When Dr Kay Scarpetta, chief medical officer, is awakened at 2.33am, she knows the news is bad - there is a fourth victim, and she now fears for those that will follow unless she can dig up new forensic evidence to aid the police. But not everyone is pleased to see a woman in this powerful job. Someone may even want to ruin her career and her reputation. Written in 1990, we have the 30th anniversary edition and it will make you giggle when the writer refers to computers operating from the C Prompt with typed commands and using floppy discs, but that's how things were then. 415pp, paperback.
